I found this photo online, perhaps it will help. In this picture the crown molding on the cabinets flow from the kitchen to the adjoining room. Maintaining continuity with the color and some of the trim detail will make the rooms transition nicely. Don't overlook the details like hardware finish, lighting and plumbing fixtures as these elements can also tie the two styles together. I hope this was helpful.

Oh wow, it looks fantastic! The black looks so striking against the white, not too sharp at all. Congratulations on the house, you must be very excited to move in. :)

Ah! Such a cute kitchen!! Have you seen the cord hiding boxes available? That one is from IKEA but there are heaps of variations around. Tidies it up a bit, and you can place the phone etc on top with all cords hidden inside.

I've always had a tile and glass shower and it's a bit frustrating to clean. However, like you, I love the look of tile and glass so I deal with it. What did you decide to do?
